Ingredients
  

1 package (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

6 large eggs

1 cup milk

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (or ground beef)

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red and green)

1/2 cup diced onions

1 teaspoon taco seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Salsa for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and press it into the bottom and sides of a greased muffin tin, ensuring there are no gaps. Pinch the seams together to create a uniform crust.

      Cook the Filling: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onions and bell peppers until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the cooked breakfast sausage (or ground beef), taco seasoning, salt, and pepper, stirring until well combined. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through. Remove from heat.

        Mix the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and the cooked filling from the skillet.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Carefully pour the egg mixture into each crescent crust, filling it just below the top.

            Bake the Quiches: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the egg is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the quiches from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes. Carefully remove each mini taco quiche and transfer them to a serving plate.

                Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve warm with salsa on the side for dipping.
